<em><u>The Statement accurate about three-fifths compromise is that three out of every five African Americans were counted as residents of the nation. </u></em>

Further Explanations:

Three-Fifths Compromise was a pronouncement that discussed the representation of the slaves while determining the census so as to conclude the tax legislative representation. The argument was whether slaves should be totaled in the populace figures or not. The conclusion of the compromise was that three out of five slaves were counted as citizens and a third more seat was allotted to Southern States in the Congress.

The compromise was drafted by James Wilson and was then proposed in the convention on 11th June 1787 by Charles Pinckney. Prior to this, representation in the House as per the State’s population was already accepted but the compromise increases the representation of the slaves. Though after the demise of Reconstruction-era in 1877 the former slaves took advantage of the clauses of the compromise and obtained the benefit of representation in the legislature. The draft granted Southerners more voting power and inflated the number of Southern Democrats in the legislature.

How did foreign policy change from washington to monroe?
Anna11 [10]
The US foreign policy was based on the belief that the US should not get involved in other countries' business unless it directly affected the US. This was during the time of Washington.

In 1823, when Monroe became president of the US, the Monroe Doctrine was announced. This announcement had a huge change in the foreign policy of the US as it stated that the US was the only country that had the absolute right of colonizing any land in North, South or Central America.
This meant that the US opposed Europe and stopped them from taking over any land there.
